Americans Reacts to How to Play Rugby - The Rules of Rugby Union

[@breytonjohannes3865]

Mandem said "there's only two quarters" lol

[@wdazza]

In rugby there are two halves and no timeouts. Substitutions are rare so most players spend 80 minutes running around the pitch. However, they do get a short break to setup a scrum or lineout and for kicks.

[@mzanziman9150]

2 quarters is more than one half 😂😂

[@Just_JasonZA]

​@@wdazza substations are not rare at all! The whole bench comes into play every single game

[@sammysalsss6060]

@@wdazzawtf you mean subs are rare?? Tf?? Lmao

[@DaMuss-e2w]

@@wdazza Rugby League has even fewer stoppages so it can be quite tough, you do get limited interchanges though, usually to give the middle forwards a break. I have played both, I played both in the forwards and backs, In rugby Union and League when I played in the forwards I was always really tired at the end of the game, in Union I was not really tired at the end if I played in the backline, But in Rugby league I was tired when I played in the backline, at center and wing.

[@mzanziman9150]

A "quarter" is a fraction, a football game is divided into 4 hence quarters, something split in two is a half, 2 quarters cant make a whole AMERICA

[@TheHiltonblake]

South African here.. Excellent video for those who are just beginning to watch rugby.. Keep watching!.. Oh, and the 'little dude' is Cheslin Kolbe.. ;)

[@floofy117]

It's called a "Try" because originally you could only score points by kicking the ball between the poles. Placing the ball over the line during play would allow you a "try at kicking" in order to score. The rules were eventually updated so that placing the ball over the line for a try would also count for points as well as getting a chance to kick for poles.

[@philb2085]

Football or rugby boots are the same as cleats... we just don't call them that. Strictly speaking the "cleats" are just the spikes on the bottom of the shoe? We call them "studs". So you have cleats, we have boots with studs.

[@taab7]

The tutorial should have mentioned that the placement of the ball for a conversion attempt is relative to where the try was scored. If a try is scored between the posts, then the kicker may place the ball wherever he likes to convert the try. Other than between the posts, the kicker must place the ball anywhere on an imaginary line that is directly perpendicular to the spot where the try was scored. Players often attempt to score a try between the uprights or as close as possible to the uprights in order to ensure an easier angle for the kicker to convert the try successfully. A converted try (7 points) is called a goal. Another very important of scoring a try is that there has to be downward pressure to the ground by the scoring player of the ball on or over the try-line. If an attacking player fumbles or drops the ball as he attempts to ground or dot down the ball in the in-goal area, then the try is disallowed. Attacking players often dive onto or over the try-line to ensure that the ball touches the turf whilst downward pressure on the ball is being applied. I don't understand why NFL call a touchdown a touchdown simply because the attacker have crossed the goal-line. NFL players don't touch the ball down to the ground. In Rugby, crossing the goal line (try-line) is only half the job done - the ball still has to be grounded by the attacking player. In Rugby, dotting the ball down to the ground when you are sprinting your butt off with some huge monster tacklers breathing down your neck and intent on smashing you at the precise moment that you attempt to ground the ball can be very difficult and intimidating.

[@floofy117]

Perhaps they call it a touchdown because the ball has successfully arrived in the endzone like how an airplane touches down when it successfully lands on a runway. Just my guess, i played rugby 😅

[@relaidjacherifi4494]

US football is basically an evolution of Rugby ( with maybe other influences ). So originaly, they did touch down to score. The rule changed since then, but they kept the word.

[@gabrieltyler2305]

I don't usually comment, but I had to say that I agree with your opinion that Drop Goals are awesome. And I wish that we saw more drop goals in modern rugby. But someone told me a very interesting thing, if you're close enough to kick for a certain drop goal, you may as well go for a try, and get those extra 4 points (except if you've got Francois Steyn on your team😆). All this means Drop goals are quite situational. I'd like to know what other rugga fans thing about it

[@markyeadon7271]

Or if you have SFM 😁😁

[@brianmitchell1624]

A drop goal is also a scoring play in American football as well (but they virtually never use it)! Look up Doug Flutie drop goal!

[@relaidjacherifi4494]

It s all about the moment of the game, the context. Hence why you need a clever fly half to assess the chances of scoring a try ( as well as the risk of turnover and counter attack ) as well as the general situation and what you need on the scoreboard. Remember the 99 semi final NZL vs FR? Lamaison's drop goals were just perfect, cause they gave back some confidence and momentum to a french team on the verge of collapsing.

[@yazeedcariem5684]

Hey there, Luv Ur Rugby-Reactions Ur Energy & Enthusiasm to learn the Sport is in infectious!!!!

[@rittherugger160]

"Boots with studs" are cleats. There are no quarters. Just 2 halfs. The Lineout is how play is restarted after the ball goes into touch. (out of bounds) Why is a 'touchdown called a TRY? Back in the past, touching the ball down in the opposition's ingoal area was not a score. No points were given. What you got was a free kick at goal. You got to TRY to score.

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

Yep we wear cleates but call them studs. Most backs prefer soccer style plastic moulded ones which are easier to run in while most forwards (if not all) go for larger steel ones screwed into the boot to get more grip. The studs come in different sizes and patterns.

[@Sivu_Xatasi]

Guys are a beautiful couple and i love your channel when mostly when you react on rugby. I hope you follow South African Springboks. We love rugby here in South Africa.

5:40 Very impressed with yourself at being able to add 5 and 2. Well done. But it wasn't enough to redeem yourself after "two quarters".

[@tomTaylor-ht1gr]

Forwards and Backs - Scrum half (Player - 9) Is technically a back but is seen more as a player who connects the two together xoxo

[@mzanziman9150]

A field is where you grow crops, a well maintained, painted, level "field" is a pitch

[@floofy117]

So you asked why a "maul" if formed differently to a scrum. The short answer is that a maul has no set form. It just happens when players make contact but don't fall to the ground so the teammates join and push to gain ground, hence why it looks like a walking version of a "dogpile". A maul can happen from normal play where a tackle attempt was made or it can happen from a lineout (more often) as the players are already close to eachother in a lineout so they latch on to eachother quicker and it's also a lineout strategy to catch the ball, bring it down and collective push towards the try line if the lineout happens close enough to the opposition's try line.

[@relaidjacherifi4494]

Also, for our US friends, it s not obvious when you watch only highlights ( so big tackles, great run, passing, etc...), but ruck ( especialy counter rucking ), maul and scrum are generally what die hard Rugby fans enjoy the most in a game. When the home team crush the opponents in a scrum, you could be sure the whole stadium will roar in anger.

[@JadonBreda]

They don't wear wrestling boots they wear cleats another word they use is rugby boots

[@wesrobmat]

In South Africa we say Rugby Boots not cleats even though they are the same as cleats not boots. 😂

Highly recommend you check out rugby league too. Its less popular globally but big in Australia. Its a much more entertaining sport

Two halves, not quarters. And the boots have studs - which you would call cleats.

Can you check out the video- Russell Crowe explains the rules and laws of rugby league | NRL. i explained it in a comment on your original rugby video but its a similar sport that had clips in that original video and in mine and many peoples opinion is a much better sport and i think for americans will interest them more because its faster paced. not saying to replace union with league because i prefer it but i just think youd enjoy it like alot of other american reactors do

[@masonbell8840]

A try is only scored if the ball is put on the floor, crossing the plane is not enough

[@Otacatapetl]

You don't have to pass backwards, you just can't pass forwards. A lateral pass is fine.

[@patrickdevine1085]

the difference is in rugby most play is continuous and does not stop.

[@hmmmyeahnahdoh823]

How hard can it be? Famous last words!!! In theory the concept is simple. To score more points than the opposition through scoring tries, conversions & penalty kicks by running passing kicking to gain territory. But in World Rugby's wisdom to speed up the game to make it more entertaining, competitive and for players welfare/safety it has become alot more complicated.

[@abubakrbenn]

the srum is about power. what teamis stronger

[@simpiwesali9275]

Watch a match you will get everything, its more interesting when you see the actual action .. I promise you never be disappointed. I recommend watching games between South Africa ,New Zealand ,England ,France.

To show you just how important sportsmanship & respect are you need to check out a compilation video of THE Grand Master of ALL Referees.

Next time you watch an NFL game, time how much gameplay there is. In Rugby, you get 80 minutes of play. In the NFL you'll get between 15-20 minutes in total.

[@relaidjacherifi4494]

I think you are Generous with US Football, would say less. Thus said, Rugby isn t 80 minutes of effective play either, more somewhere between 50 to 60 minutes un modern game and under 40 minutes 30 years ago.

[@educatednumpty71]

@@relaidjacherifi4494 Have you not seen that the TIMER stops in Rugby thus making sure there is actually two Forty minute halfs?

[@relaidjacherifi4494]

​@@educatednumpty71 The timer does not always stop when the play is off... I assume you didn t watch a lot of Rugby ( no offense ), next time you will, pay attention to the clock, the ref will call "time off" only in specific circumstances. Wich didn t include a ball in touch ( out of bonds... ), the break between a knock on and a scrum, a conversion or a penalty kick, etc... Generally, the ref stop the clock in case of injury, if he want to talk to the players or if he need to review a play with video.

[@ianarnett]

There are two HALVES of 40 minutes, not two quarters. Cleats are studs. This isn’t a good video. Partly because the explanations are not clear and partly because of the ridiculous need to show all the clips from the same match. For example, the clip of the ruck shows absolutely nothing of a real ruck. You still need to get more information, but, great to see you watching and learning about rugby, more please!

why do you keep saying foot ball in football you are not allowed to pick up the ball or touch it with your hands that would be incur a penalty

[@relaidjacherifi4494]

Football is a broad familly of sports originating in some peasants game of the middle age. Hence the name cause peasants, contrary to the aristocracy, did not have horses. So Football, as opposed to jousting, is a game played on feet, or, for a modern translation, the sport of the commoners, the sport of the people. So nothing to do with using feet or hands.
